Massage therapy helps people become more aware of their connective tissue health and understand the importance of maintenance. In other words, it is essential to maintain strong connective tissue through functional movement, exercises, and treatment for long term wellness. The general course of recovery is different in everyone’s health. We identify conditions within stages of healing referred to as acute, subacute, or chronic. Each condition can be assisted through specialized techniques and modalities used by massage therapists. As therapists at Humber Bay Physio, we aim at educating the public about the benefits of improving functionality and mobility as a preventative method to pain, headaches, migraines, or injuries.

Q: How to know which service to seek on my

first treatment?

Our Free Consultation program at Humber Bay Physio allows people to schedule an appointment time with a health professional that will provide their expertise at no cost to review your health history and create a clinical hypothesis. All our health professionals are highly trained and equipped to answer many of the questions you may have.

Q: Is there an age limit to massage therapy?

There’s no age limit to massage therapy treatment, our therapists are skilled in identifying contraindications to treatment. Pediatric patients (under the age of 21) benefit from massage therapy by preventing the development of faulty posture or conditions (scoliosis, genu Valgus/Varus, and other). Similarly, in the case of mature clients, treatment is tailored to their clinical presentation to promote overall wellness and strength.

Q: How can I achieve good mental health

through massage therapy?

In addition to assisting with sleep quality, gut health, anxiety, and depression; massage therapy will also improve mind-body performance by delivering sensory inputs to the central nervous system leading to increased proprioceptive perception allowing you to move and feel better.

Beloved NBA champion and Toronto Raptor Star, Serge Ibaka stopped by Humber Lakeshore on January 11 for the first Real Talks event of the new year to inspire students and discuss his rise to the top.

Ibaka does it all. From basketball to cooking to modelling to even producing two documentaries, there isn’t much he has left to master. His story proves that anything is possible when you work hard and try your best to achieve your goals.

Black History Month the Toronto-area riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore, winning four consecutive elections until her retirement from politics in 2006.

Jean’s work as a parliamentarian included service as Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, Minister and Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and the Status of Women, Chair of the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Committee and Chair of the National Women’s Caucus. In her final year, Jean was elected Deputy Speaker by her peers.

The Honourable

Jean Augustine

Queen’s Privy Council, Companion of the Order of Canada www.jeanaugustine.ca

Jean Augustine’s story is a testament to the power of hard work and devotion in pursuit of social justice.

Born in St. George’s, Grenada in 1937, Jean lost her father at a young age, but blossomed into an outstanding young student raised by a wise grandmother.

In 1960, already a qualified teacher, Jean immigrated to Canada through the Canada-Caribbean Domestic Program. With focus, she attended Toronto Teachers College and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto.

Jean earned her Master’s in Education degree while working as an elementary school teacher with the Metropolitan Separate School Board in Toronto. She would later become principal/supervisory officer

while remaining deeply involved in grassroots efforts in the community.

Jean’s contributions extended to many social causes. She was an active member on boards including York University Board of Trustees, The Hospital for Sick Children, the Donwood Institute, Harbourfront; and served as Chair of the Metropolitan Toronto Housing Authority. She was the National President of the Congress of Black Women of Canada. Her capacities were recognized by government leaders who requested her assistance when undertaking important initiatives -- the development and launch of Canada’s official multiculturalism policy in 1971; member of the Ontario Judicial Council; the Toronto Crime Inquiry; and the training of teachers in Equity and Diversity.

In 1993, Jean Augustine made history. She became the first African Canadian woman elected to Canada’s House of Commons.

She served as the Member of Parliament for

Amongst her notable achievements was legislation to protect low-income individuals including single mothers. Jean used skilful negotiation to garner unanimous support to pass a historic motion designating February as Black History Month in Canada. Jean also championed legislation to erect the Famous Five statue, the only statue featuring women on Parliament Hill.

Jean donated her parliamentary papers to York University’s Faculty of Education, thus creating the Jean Augustine Chair in Education in the New Urban Environment. This Chair supports research on issues related to education policy, immigration and cultural diversity.

In 2007, the Government of Ontario asked Jean to lead the commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the British slave trade. Later that year, she was appointed the first Fairness Commissioner for the Province of Ontario. Jean set new regulatory standards for clarity, openness and streamlined access to employment conditions for foreign trained professionals. Jean served as Fairness Commissioner until her retirement in 2015.

In 2009, Jean was appointed as a Member of the Order of Canada for her extensive contribution to Canadian society as a politician, educator and advocate for social justice.

She received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012, and in 2014 was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her services to education and politics.

Today, Jean remains involved with community activities including the Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women’s Empowerment.

She also supports several scholarships at various post-secondary institutions to help provide a better future for young women.

Finals Article and Photography by Peeter Poldre

Three new champions were crowned at the 2020 Canadian Tire National Skating Championship finals that took place at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga on January 18th.

20-year old Roman Sadovsky landed three quadruple jumps to capture the first national skating title of his career, beating out veteran Nam Nguyen for gold.

Ice Dance partners Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier had stood on the national figure skating podium seven times, but never on the top step. But Saturday, after nearly a decade of skating in the shadow of superstars Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, they captured gold.

“Getting a Canadian title is something we’ve really worked hard to get.

It hasn’t come easily.

But everything is about timing in life and we’ve finally found what works for us.”

- Piper Gilles

Emily Bausback won a women’s singles event that saw three newcomers climb the podium, while Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro won their second consecutive pairs title.
